We usually tend to get comfortable with people. People who reveal their true colors later n we end up hurting ourselves.
Let me firstly tell you that: You are really strong that you trust people repeatedly. But not this time. Just keep it upto you, your happiness, your space, your compatibility, your choices, your likes dislikes, your moods and everything related to you. Start loving yourself exactly like the way you love your bf/gf.
Talk to yourself. Buy yourself a coffee and enjoy every sip of it. Take yourself out.
Avoid dramatic/negative people. Generate your own self one.
All I wish you is #selflove#selfcare#setyourownpriorities#loveyourself ❤❤💓💓😊😊😍😍🙌🙌

Ignorance is a bliss but not always. I ignored headaches and pain in my eyes always, which resulted in this.. permanent glasses 🤓 Now even if I hate it, I have to wear glasses because everything seems blurred without them. That is why, never take yourself or your health for granted. I did and I am suffering now. Self love and self care is very important so start taking care of yourself before its too late.

In the run up to our wedding we became super unmotivated with all of the finishing touches. It also meant all of our other goals took a back seat. Then we read an article about ‘no zero days.’ Some days you wake up feeling unmotivated and that’s fine but as long as you take one tiny step towards your goal you’ve achieved something and you should celebrate the fact you’ve had a no zero day not dwell on what you haven’t done. What small step will you take today? #nozerodays

‘Encasing stories from the past’. One of the paintings from my degree show.
Funny time of year isn’t it, reflecting on the past year, the highs, the lows, the personal achievements, which if you really think about I’m sure there has been many, however small or big. We are always evolving and things that may seem like failures (I don’t believe in this word) will hopefully be learning experiences.
Setting new intentions and goals for the coming year can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. So I’m going to set goals as follows: Long term goals, medium term goals and short term. Look at the long term goals and break down into more realistic and achievable steps of how to get there, then they may not feel quite as far fetched. Imagine there is a pond, you are a frog , and the long term goal achievement is at the other side of the pond. You have to get there, one lily pad at a time, small jumps. Sometimes you’ll loose grip, loose sight of the goal, but the lily pads are in their place ready for when you crawl atop again and start jumping. Sometimes you’ll have more spring in your jump, that happens, with the ebbs and flows.
Be kind to yourself this Christmas, and to others. Kindness is the greatest and cheapest (free) thing we all have at our fingertips.
In the run up to Christmas before the real mayhem begins, I’m taking a pause today to think of the last year, the new year , and what and who I have around me now, right now, that I am lucky for.
What have you achieved this year to be proud of, what are your new year intentions? 〰️〰️〰️

When caring for people with dementia is was taught to meet them in their reality. You don’t try to reorient them because it’s distressing and they see you as a liar. Looking after farmers in their 90s they would want to go out in the dark to turn off their tractor. There was no tractor there hadn’t been a tractor to years but if I said that, trying to bring them back into this reality I have just created another problem. Because to them their tractor is still on and they have to deal with me a liar. I loved meeting them in their reality. One of my favourites was when a coworker and I were helping a client into bed he suddenly got quite angry we were still here. It was out of character for him; he was a sweet soft spoken man. So I explained that we were here to help. But he was still upset because to him me and my coworker were supposed to be at the dance. It made our night. Quickly I said “we didn’t know you knew we were going. We were going to sneak out of the house” my coworker added “so don’t tell mom” he gave us a knowing smile; we got to share a secret. It calmed him down, he went to sleep and we finished our work. I think the reason I did so well with my dementia clients is because I am a natural liar. Lying kept me safe; it prevented me from being rejected. I never told big lies or malicious ones but little ones. Like saying I was fine when I wasn’t, I didn’t care what movie we saw or what restaurant we ate at when I did, saying I was too tired to go out when really I just couldn’t handle the thought of interacting with people. Listening staying silent when I could have added to a conversation. I got to the point when I was tired of lying. These lies may have kept me safe but the prevented me from connecting and forming true relationships with people. When you are vulnerable people actually like you more not less and the more honest I was the easier it it became. Every so often I am hit with the realization that I have friends. That realization often comes out of no where and hits me like a ton of bricks because I don’t think I ever truly have had friends like this. I say what I feel when I feel it and it has made me feel safer than the lies ever did.
